Welcome to Gaia! ::

After some debate with himself, Victor had decided to leave his duplex. He didn't really want to, but he knew he couldn't just keep himself holed up in his duplex forever, and his duplex was cooler than the outside air, and now that he couldn't rely on clothing to keep himself warm, outside was probably his best bet, at least until the people at the labs delivered that electric blanket he ordered right before his change. If they delivered it.

So far Victor hadn't been in any of the other rooms of the town hall other than the caferteria, and he did want to see what else was there. So the lizardman randomly picked a room to go and explore, hoping nobody else was in there for the time being, and Victor picked the workout room.

After 'standing up' by balancing his weight on his tail and leaning against the door, Victor managed to get the door open, and slipped inside, crawling inside as quickly as he could so his tail wouldn't get caught in the door, but the lizardman's tail was too long, and fiendishly clenched onto the middle of his tail as it closed.
"Damnit!" Victor shouted as he kicked back at the door to free his tail, which was still painfully sore from his changes, finally freeing himself after a few tries.
Victor dragged himself further into the gym, turning himself to try and make sure he wasn't bleeding or anything, and luckily he wasn't, but it still throbbed hotly, and the lizardman wasn't aware of Jordan's presence.

Victor looked at the different equiptment there in the workout room, all things he wouldn't be able to use, not even the treadmill, his body structure made him too wide to be able to use it, his legs would just hang off the sides, the only thing he could possibly have any use for was the balance exercise ball... which was something he could use to rest on in his duplex.

The lizardman had taken a couple more steps into the workout room, just out of the way of the doors as they were flung open by Jordan, surprising Victor, who looked up at the dogman from the floor, not saying anything at the moment, waiting for Jordan to make the first move.

Victor had been surprised that Jordan hadn't immedately noticed him, but soon saw the reason why, the dogman was too focused on finding something, in this case his hat, to see Victor who laid low to the floor. Once Jordan had found his hat, Victor crawled over to where Jordan might see him. Better to let the other man see him now than accidently sneak up on the guy and freak him out more than he probably already be from his appearance.

"Hey there"

take a picture? what was that supposted to mean? Victor wondered, as he kept his snout tilted down, so that Jordan wouldn't have to see his two mouths at once. The dogman's reaction was less than he had hoped for, but better than he had experianced so far.

"Everything all right? you sssseem upsssset" Victor asked, his large second mouth moving some, and hiding the mouth below, the 'ventriloquist's trick' as he had come to think of it as, it probably was better than distrubing Jordan anymore than he already was.

"I'm Victor by the way, wassss jussst looking around"

Jordan's angry snappy responce didn't surprise him so much, or worry him, neither did being called 'Vic' It was a nickname he usually allowed his friends to call him by. the lizardman had been with enough patients to understand Jordan's attitude.

"Good to meet you Jordan, and Yessss, I've sssseen better dayssss but I ssssuppossse we all have..I got my tail sssshut in the door when I came in, hard to get usssed to ssssomething ssso long thatsss attached to you" Victor curled his tail halfway around himself. "I haven't ssseen anyone new around, although I don't get around that much" Victor shuffled his feet to get into a more comfortible position.

Victor nodded at the mention of how troublesome having a tail could possibly be. the lizardman watched Jordan as the other man moved closer and crouched down. the former psychology student was able to keep calm for one simple reason, which was his mind was clear and untainted by the animal side the other islanders had to contend with.

"Sssso?" Victor echoed back questioningly, he wondered what Jordan could be angry about (besides the obvious situation with every islander) the dog man seemed distressed in some way, but he didn't want to out-right ask him.
"I arrived here...about two monthssss ago, but don't think I've met any more than ten people"

Victor tapped the long wicked claws of his forelegs on the floor, his chest arms moving a bit as he listened and watched Jordan
"Itssss alright, thingssss been difficult for me assss well, I changed jusssst a couple dayssss ago, been trying to manage all thesssse limbsss and crawling around." and people staring and being shocked by his appearance, but Victor didn't say that. Victor recognised that Jordan might want to talk about something, the thing that was making the dogman angry.

"Whatever issss bothering you can't be that bad...I mean after I changed I looked in the mirror and it sssshattered to piecesss and firssst persssson I met afterwardssss took one look at me, sssscreamed and ran away"
This was Victor's attempt at some humor on his situation, it still hurt that Gaius had done that to him and conventantly left out the fact he was the one that broke the mirror with a shoe he'd never wear again.
